Description

Festival for Three Thousand Maidens is set in the 1960s, the era of war in Vietnam and riots and assassinations in the US; however, neither of these places figure directly in the story, but both reverberate like distant thunder coming ever close to the heartbeat of this story.

Praise

“In Festival for Three Thousand Maidens, Richard Wiley has given us a fascinating and utterly convincing portrait of a young man caught between two cultures and struggling to understand both.” —T. C. Boyle
